Why don't hotels mount air conditioning units outside the rooms?












1















At least in the US, air conditioning / heating tends to be on the loud side, since the AC unit is mounted directly inside the room. Often times I resort to turning it off for the night just to get some quiet sleep. This is an issue in both cheap and middle class hotels - not sure if 5-star places have the same issue as I haven't stayed in any yet.



What's the reason behind this frequent problem? Are guests expected to either tolerate the noise or sleep without heating/cooling?



Pictures were requested in the comments, so here's examples of what I'm talking about: one, two.

    This is either very subjective, or not a widespread problem. I've had trouble with noise in hotels on occasion, but only once was the air conditioning involved.

The "mini-split" units which are more common in Europe, where the compressor is outside the unit, are much more expensive up front than the cheap window units or floor units found in typical midrange or budget American properties. They also cost more to install.




  • Window unit: $150

  • Wall unit: $450

  • Mini-split: $600 for the dead cheapest, plus likely drywall work.

    Your numbers are off. The typical American unit is called a PTAC, packaged terminal air conditioner, and a 9,000 BTUh unit is around $750 from a quick search. A similar 9,000 BTUh heat-pump mini-split is about the same price.

Well this is an air conditioning issue : cheap hotels use mono block air conditionning units, as it's cheap !



You can use also the double block air conditionning (or mini split) .. (which is slightly expensive comparing to the mono block but in this case you need to drill a big hole in the wall)



The 5 start resorts use the central air conditioning : big giant unit outside the building that provides cooling for the whole building (more expensive and requires high budget and maintenance)



bottom line : mono block just cheap.

    It depends on the position of the unit. High class hotels give special attention the the house while middle class hotels might not have sound proofing it take the sound into account.

              It depends on the position of the unit. High class hotels give special attention the the house while middle class hotels might not have sound proofing it take the sound into account.

                      How to label and detect the document text images

                      Image
                      1 $begingroup$ This is what I mean as document text image: I want to label the texts in image as separate blocks and my model should detect these labels as classes. NOTE: This is how the end result should be like: The labels like Block 1, Block 2, Block 3,.. should be Logo, Title, Date,.. Others, etc. Work done: First approach : I tried to implement this method via Object Detection, it didn't work. It didn't even detect any text. Second approach : Then I tried it using PixelLink. As this model is build for scene text detection, it detected each and every text in the image. But this method can detect multiple lines of text if the threshold values are increased. But I have no idea how do I add labels to the text blocks. PIXEL_CLS_WEIGHT_all_ones = 'PIXEL_CLS_WEIGHT_all_ones' PIXEL_C...

                      Tabula Rosettana

                      Image
                      Tabula multilinguis Rosettana in Museo Britannico ostenditur. Tabula Rosettana, [1] etiam titulo OGIS 90 agnita, est stela decreto de rebus sacris in Aegypto anno 196 a.C.n. lato inscripta. Tabula iuxta Rosettam Aegypti, urbem in delta Nili et ad oram maris Mediterranei iacentem, anno 1799 a milite Francico reperta est. Inventio stelae, linguis duabus scripturisque tribus inscriptae, eruditis Instituti Aegypti statim nuntiata est; ibi enim iussu imperatoris Napoleonis eruditi omnium scientiarum (sub aegide Commissionis Scientiarum et Artium) properaverant cum expeditione Francica. Qua a Britannis mox debellata, tabula Rosettana Londinium missa hodie apud Museum Britannicum iacet. Textus Graecus cito lectus interpretationi textuum Aegyptiorum (in formis hieroglyphica et demotica expressorum) gradatim adiuvit. Denique textum plene interpretatus est Ioannes Franciscus Champollion. Ab opere eruditorum cumulativo coepit hodiernus scripturae hieroglyphicae linguaeque Aegyptiae a...
